So many cool little Zotero tweaks. I use an auto-tagger so when an item is added to Zotero it is automatically tagged with "to read" and once it's opened that is changed to "have read" so I can easily find something I still need to read, and the 'to read' tag is color-marked red so there's a little red dot next to everything in my library that I haven't opened yet.

I have a similar set-up. I have thousands of PDFs in hundreds of folders, so I used the add-on "Folder Import for Zotero" to import "linked files" en masse. HOWEVER, this add-on does not work with the current version of Zotero.

Does not appear to be compatible with the current version of Zotero and github link doesn't seem to work either. Bummer if true.

For (2), I think no. You can use Zotfile to move attachments into folders. You can use Zotero Folder Import to import all attachments in folders into your Zotero library. But I don't think you can effectively set Zotero to scan a folder and update its library when a new file is added.

You can import your existing file structure into Mendeley or Zotero (by using the folder importer plugin). Both of them extract the abstract of the document, or you can use your own abstract if you wish.
